I always trip on level ground

with one comment

On the lighter side: I’ve always had trouble with mysqldump’s expected syntax. You know, as the author of a book and all that, you might think I can get this to work. But pretty much every time I run this tool, it humiliates me. Witness:


$ mysqldump --host localhost --password secr3t --all-databases
Usage: mysqldump [OPTIONS] database [tables]
OR     mysqldump [OPTIONS] --databases [OPTIONS] DB1 [DB2 DB3...]
OR     mysqldump [OPTIONS] --all-databases [OPTIONS]
For more options, use mysqldump --help

Alas.

  1. Probably your best post ;-)
    Thx for that, as Vadim wrote in his last post about “Version Check” feature in pt-toolkit : “No single person is able to remember all the bugs and versions they impact”
    We can also say : “No single person is able to remember all the syntax”
    Perhaps there will be a new feature for that soon…
